Natural Selection

A grizzly bear survives because he is well-adapted to his environment. When he reproduces he passes on those traits to his offspring. this process is called

Why might it be helpful for a species to have a lot of variations?

• They can't be seen by predators

• If the environment changes, they might be better able to adapt

• It is helpful in asexual reproduction

• They don't recognize each other
